Hey, I'm about to buy my PC tomorrow when I stop by the electronics store. Here's what I have

 

i5 4690

MSI Z87 G41 Mate

2x4 GB Patriot Viper III 1866mhz

CX750 PSU

XFX Radeon 280 3GB

Seagate 1TB 7200 rpm 64 MB

Corsair 330R

 

Frys:

Price 808 USD

After Rebates 748 USD

 

PCPartpicker:
Price: 882 USD

After rebates: 809 USD

 

Yes I know I won't need the Z87 because it's a locked processor and the 750 watt is too overkill. Can't change that because the CPU, PSU, Mobo, and RAM are in a barebones kit and it's a really good deal for 400 bucks. I'm buying Windows 7 off a friend for 40 bucks.

 

I live in the US and I'm aiming for gaming. I can only use this site www.frys.com because it is my electronic store. I would use PCPartpicker but I believe it's easier to replace in person rather than waiting however long it is for shipping. Not only that but the same components is more expensive in PCP than in Fry's (believe it or not).  Any feedback is great. Thank you <3

Besides that is everything good enough to pull the trigger?

Yeah looks good. I was gonna say mobo and PSU change, but you explained that. So go for it.
